Option to create rule docs if they don't exist?

[JoshuaKGoldberg]

I'm onboarding an existing repo, https://github.com/veritem/eslint-plugin-vitest/tree/097eb2649afac54039c4891971079434a55f0662, onto eslint-doc-generator. After pnpm add eslint-plugin-vitest npm-run-all --save-dev:

$ pnpm run update:eslint-docs

> eslint-plugin-vitest@0.0.11 update:eslint-docs /Users/josh/repos/eslint-plugin-vitest
> eslint-doc-generator

file:///Users/josh/repos/eslint-plugin-vitest/node_modules/.pnpm/eslint-doc-generator@0.22.0_eslint@8.12.0/node_modules/eslint-doc-generator/dist/lib/generator.js:110
            throw new Error(`Could not find rule doc: ${relative(getPluginRoot(path), pathToDoc)}`);
                  ^

It'd be nice if there was a flag like, say, eslint-doc-generator --init that could initialize rule docs for me. Bonus points if it also adjusts the contents of the file to avoid the <rule> rule doc should have included one of these headers: Options, Config lint complaint.

I'd be happy to send a PR!

Hey, thanks for trying this out!

1. While plugins that are missing rule docs entirely are hopefully rare, I do have an existing issue to add an option to create the missing rule docs: Add option to create missing rule docs #79. I could implement this pretty quickly this morning unless you want to work on it first.
2. The options section check can be disabled if needed with --rule-doc-section-options false, although it's usually pretty quick to add the missing sections manually. I haven't bothered trying to automatically create an options section because it would need so much manual attention anyway (where to place it, the full list of options to mention, the explanation for each option). But it could we worth trying to generate at least a barebones options section so I have filed an issue to consider this: Automatically generate missing options sections in rule docs #237.

Oh shoot 🤦 sorry I swear I did search for duplicates! I'd love to work on #79 and #237, will take a look today. Thank you!
